Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm having sarameg's day, again.

I'm having sarameg's day, again.

For a minute I was thinking that Allyson and sarameg should collaborate on a "Devil wears Prada" style book about working with scientists, but then I remembered that scientists are really, really boring.

It's just summer! It makes people crazy. Also? your tagline might have something to do with it!

Sorry, Allyson. If it is any consolation, I think I confused the hell out of the wee man who had the misfortune to be in my path. I just stopped dead in front of him and stared until he stepped back and to the side so I could keep going.

You'd be surprised. The wildest parties I ever attended (and I include nights clubbing in drug free-for-all central european countries) happened to be at observing facilities. When I was 17. Aaiiiieeeee.

Hush you. I have a terrible crush on a very non-boring scientist.

And they're mostly all batshit crazy, so there's many stories to tell. My next book is all about work, so they'll star in at least a few stories.

I'm still trying to get my head around someone who would retype a phonebook to avoid boredom.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was raised by Caltech/JPL scientists, and grew up surrounded by Caltech grad students. Not boring. Bugfuck crazy sometimes, but not boring.
